50 Best Bakeries near North Bethesda

“Delicious pastries and coffee, great vibe“

“I love that Cafe Sunflower supports the community of people with learning differences with its training and employment program. The baked goods were delicious, too!“

“Fantastic croissants and delicious pastries. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“Classic Bakery made a delicious and beautiful birthday cake for a special birthday celebration!! My lactose free requedt was honored and handled with care. My friend was delighted with her birthday surprise. Thank you, ɔBakery“

“The music is fine and it plays to a level that allows conversation, there are seats outside for those who like to be al fresco early in the morning. I like the lighting and there is a combination of live plants and an artificial garland inside. I had the ube cake, croissants, the savory bun and they were great. I'm not a fan of donuts but friends rave about them. The coffee is excellent. If you eat in place they serve the pastries on China plates. Do you have a sweet tooth ? Try the vietnamese coffee. Black coffee is your choice - drip, expresso iced and hot are fine and mellow. There is an interesting choice of teas too. When it comes to the banana cinnamon cookie, not so great, took a bite and the prevalent taste was baking soda. Nice touch to combine salt and sweet on the cookie but the baking soda ruins everything. Tried the cookie at the other end and it had no cinnamon flavor. Stick to pastries and you will be safe. Should have got the hojicha roll not the cinnamon cookie but this will be for next time.“

“No other bakery like Seylou. We travel in to the city every weekend to eat here. The staff is so kind and feels like an extension of our family. They’ve taken my child behind the scenes and shown him how grains are killed and bread is baked. I could not ask for a better community and diet staple.“

“This place is absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine kindness and exceptional customer service. We had the pleasure of meeting the regional manager, who was warm, friendly, and truly wonderful. The entire team went above and beyond. They came from behind the counter to introduce themselves, took the time to engage with our children, and made us feel like valued guests instead of just customers. The desserts were absolutely scrumptious and unlike anything we've ever had. We were especially grateful that they offered delicious plant based options, which made the experience even better. This wasn't just a stop for dessert. It was an experience we'll always remember. We will definitely be back, and we hope they remember us because we certainly won't forget them. We highly recommend this place! Our three girls loved everything about this place 🩷🩷🩷. 7/23/2026 😊

Inside joke: Always a New Yorker!!!

I wanted to update my review because I felt it was important to recognize Mr. Joseph and Ms. Anita. They are two of the kindest, most pleasant people I have met in a long time. My family and I were truly grateful for their kindness, thoughtfulness, and genuine consideration of our dietary needs. They work incredibly well together, run the business with excellence, and create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was an absolute joy spending time with them, and they made our entire experience even more memorable. They are a true asset to this establishment, and we look forward to seeing them again. They are absolutely worth sitting in traffic for.“

“In addition to the customer service being phenomenal, the overly large and delicious cookies are to die for! They are pricy, but worth every dollar! The young lady who helped me was friendly, had such a genuine smile and welcoming presence, which made the cookies even more enjoyable!“

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋“

“The cake was exceptional. Tell the store if you want your custom cake to be less sweet, they will accommodate.

The store responded promptly to requests and was detailed in taking orders.

Every flavor stands out.“

“It was my first time going to this place , the staff can try to be more welcoming and pleaseant and help they clients to order , I had to take my mask off to speak and let them know what i wanted and as i was ordering I felt like i was being rushed to order , the food was tasting but tge owner needs to change the way the food is charged , I was charge for each separate item this is not a place where you order yourself a complete meal for a full charge , the food was delicious but I would not go back and another turn off in the bakery area they had flies around the sweet bread .“

“A chill little bakery with fantastic pastries, cookies and croissants, as well as quality coffee. Also ordered a cake for my husband's birthday and it was a major hit!“

“Delicious cookies and always friendly staff. Great for celebrations or just a treat to brighten your or someone else’s day! Something for everyone’s taste. There are a few regular flavors (sugar, chocolate chip…) and then 4 or more other flavors that change each week. I recommend placing your order on the app. You’ll get points toward free cookies and a cookie on your bday.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“Great food, fun atmosphere. Miguel was the best! Would visit again!“

“This place was an absolute gem during our week-long stay in DC. We visited it a whopping five times! We had such a great time, especially when we made a funny joke about breakfast for the next morning. 😂 Because we had already eaten it .“

“Stopped by after seeing high reviews. The atmosphere of the place is really nice. There’s quiet spaces to study. There’s cute little gifts you can purchase. However, the pistachio chocolate croissant I tried wasn’t good. I don’t like the taste of pistachio paste. Also it wasn’t fresh.“

“The pastry selection at Paris Baguette made it easy to put together a little breakfast spread. We tried the almond croissant, ham and cheese pastry, and a slice of strawberry cake. The croissant had crisp, flaky layers with a sweet almond filling, while the ham and cheese pastry was savory and filling. The strawberry cake was light with just the right amount of sweetness. Everything looked fresh, and the variety made it easy to find something for everyone.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Paris Baguette. The bakery was clean, welcoming, and filled with an amazing selection of pastries, cakes, breads, and coffee. Everything looked fresh, and the quality definitely matched the presentation. Paris Baguette is known for its handcrafted pastries, breads, cakes, and specialty drinks, and my visit lived up to that reputation.

The staff was friendly and patient while I decided what to order, and my food was delicious. The pastries were light, flavorful, and not overly sweet, and the coffee paired perfectly with them. The atmosphere was cozy and made it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet treat.

I’ll definitely be back to try more items from their menu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality baked goods and a pleasant café experience! 🍰☕🥐“

“Great cakes and bread, everything was delicious!“

“I ordered a cake on Thursday at 1 pm to be picked up 4:30 pm on Friday for a birthday party. The man who picked up the phone was so accommodating and made sure that the customized message had the correct spelling of my name. When the cake was picked up, the lady was extremely lovely and kind. 10/10 would recommend and will be buying another birthday cake (very soon) from this bakery. I have also visited this bakery before to buy a n emergency cake and they have lots in the display case available. Perfect, delicious cakes. The one I got (raspberry chocolate mouse) was semi sweet and light, good for adults.“

“Delicious, fresh French pastry, ambient atmosphere and super friendly owner!“

“Highly recommended! Very delicious food, excellent service, and absolutely great place.“

“I loved my first time experiencing the original salt pretzel. They were warm upon pickup. I ate one in the car, and the other about an hour later. Deliciousness! May be trouble for me because it’s so close to home!“

“Love the idea of a bread speakeasy! It’s a little hard to find though, they usually sell out of bread by noon, and the prices are pretty steep so I’ll dock a star for that. Recommend the Kouign Amann (5.80) and their cranberry walnut sourdough (13.50).“

“The customer service is superb every time I have visited. My favorite is their mango cake and the shortbread cookie. Great ambience!“

“THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN ROCKVILLE! I've tried pretty much every pastry, cake, coffee, etc and it's all good. Their grapefruit and earl grey tea cakes are amazing. Their Kouign-amann is always my go to. And they take first place in my list beating Tattes in Bethesda.“

“We’ve always loved Baked & Wired’s goods, and we knew they would make the perfect cake for our wedding day. Of course, they delivered. Baked & Wired was very easy to work with and the cake was just right! Our guests loved it, and we can’t wait to eat the last slice on our one year anniversary!“

“This new spot in Tysons Corner is a gem. The chef is the owner they make gourmet handmade desserts whether it’s fresh baklava or Opera cake or tiramisu fresh croissants Not to mention eclair they do Maid to order birthday cakes event events highly recommend them. They’re right across the street from the Westin hotel. He sells out quickly“

“Great location. Worth the price! Friendly staff! Delicious food and drinks. Clean and welcoming establishment.“

“Never have I ever tasted such incredibly delicious Chocolate Pistachio Baklava!!! Parsa Bakery is a true McLean treasure from warm welcoming Sarah to the European Middle Eastern specialty items. The pastries are baked fresh daily on-site and you'll have to taste them to believe it!“

“A breakfast restaurant can provide a comfortable setting for traditional morning meals, coffee, sandwiches, and other daytime options. A varied menu allows different preferences to be accommodated, while efficient service is especially important during busy morning hours. Compared with a quick grab-and-go option, a full breakfast restaurant provides a more relaxed dining environment. Fresh preparation, reasonable portions, and a comfortable atmosphere all contribute to a more enjoyable experience for casual morning dining.“

“I recently had my wedding cake made by Fluffy Thoughts and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, their attention to detail was exceptional and they went above and beyond. They took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions that enhanced the overall design. They were even able to replicate our crest and put it on to the cake. The responsiveness of the team was remarkable; every question I had was answered promptly, and they made the entire process seamless. I felt supported every step of the way. Now, let's talk about the flavors! Fluffy Thoughts offers a creative selection that truly stands out. We opted for a mix of Candy Bar Crunch and Coffee in the Morning and our guests are still raving about how delicious the cake was. It was not only beautiful but also incredibly moist and flavorful. I highly recommend Fluffy Thoughts for anyone looking for a wedding cake that combines stunning design, excellent customer service, and unique flavors. They helped make our special day unforgettable!“

“first time here, the staff was very welcoming. food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more items“

“Had a fantastic experience at Maman in DC. Dakota, Paul, and Kevin provided exceptional service from start to finish, they took the time to walk me through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and even crafted a special drink just for me that was outstanding. The baked goods were absolutely delicious as well. Truly great hospitality all around, and I really appreciated the extra care they put into making the experience memorable. Highly recommend!“

“All American Vegan exceeded expectations. Ordered a cake for next day for my partners birthday. Sonia even went out of her way to offer delivery to help accommodate me as I am only able to travel at certain times due to health.
Her communication was stellar, making sure that I was happy with the order and the payment process couldn't be more simple.
All vegan and all delicious. The cake was loved and positivity was spread. Thank you, Sonia 🫶🙌“

“Very beautiful area. The quiche was the best I’ve ever had! Very cozy place.“

“Really love their pastry and croissant. Cappuccinos are wonderfully made each morning. Frassier white chocolate cake is my favorite. Also tried the new grilled cheese for brunch - excellent.“

“The cinnamon rolls are so amazing. Tasted like the real (gluten) thing. I’m very picky with cinnamon rolls and I read other reviews so the expectation was high, but it exceeded my expectations. I was so happy to see the large menu and so many options“

“Wonderful selection of bread and pastries! Absolutely worth a visit.“

“Trader Joe’s stopped carrying their Morning Glory muffins during Covid and I have been so sad but I discovered Sunflower Bakery and theirs are amazing!!!! Thank you I am so happy!!!!!“

“lives up to the hype. delicious cookies. not too sweet and great textures. got an americano with the sweet treat, and the coffee was decent as well.

2 cookies + 2 coffees came out to about 19 bucks....but one cookie definitely does fill you up.

it would be nice if they warmed the cookie up before serving.“

“Custom Cake Designs made my wedding cake dreams come true! The cake was everything I dreamed of, came on time, and the team was incredible to work with! They even created an espresso filling for us! Thank you for a delicious wonderful cake!“
